How to Make Vegan Banana Brownies
Preheat
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Prep the Wet Ingredients
Peel, then mash bananas using a pastry cutter (I highly recommend this) or a fork (which will drive you crazy lol) in a large bowl. Add the rest of the wet ingredients: coconut oil, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk everything together until well mixed.
Sift the Dry Ingredients
Sift the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl: oat flour, cacao powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Combine
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk it all together until well incorporated. Fold in vegan chocolate chips.
Pour Batter
Pour your vegan banana brownie batter into the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer and top with chocolate chips.
Bake, Cool and Enjoy
Bake for about 35 minutes. Cool banana brownies until completely cool for clean slicing. Slice and enjoy the best vegan banana brownies ever!
